DISTANCE LEARNING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON MODERN EDUCATION
Abstract
Distance learning has become an important part of modern education, especially with the rapid development of digital technologies and online communication platforms. This educational approach allows students to study remotely without being physically present in traditional classrooms. The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of distance learning on the educational process, identify its advantages and disadvantages, and evaluate its effectiveness in higher education. The article also discusses the role of technology, student motivation, and teacher preparation in successful online learning. The study concludes that distance learning provides flexibility and accessibility, but its effectiveness depends on proper organization, technological support, and active student participation.
